4 out of 5 stars Decent Zoom Lens   November 2, 2008
This lens is fairly good for it's low price tag. It has quite a bit of zoom range, which is the main reason I bought it. It is rather slow, but can generally get the job done. I used this lens to shoot a high school soccer game and football game for the school newspaper and yearbook. I got some great soccer results, and got some decent football shots from the students section at night. If you are looking for a low priced zoom lens, try this one out.


5 out of 5 stars Great, Great, Great!   October 30, 2008
I am so happy with this product, that people might think that I am the owner of Sigma!
The quality of this lens is wonderful. Its price very accessible, and it is very useful!
Auto Focus is fast and accurate and the lens is sturdy and comfortable.
With it you can take pictures and middle and long distances!
Along with the 18mm-55mm lens that I already have, is an ideal complement for almost any occasion.
I'm very very very happy!
It is a purchase that, not only I do not regret, but I would recommend to anyone!



5 out of 5 stars Nice lens   October 15, 2008
I just got this, and so far I am very satisfied. I wish the aperture was a little better, but I can't complain for the price. Overall, it is very good deal, and I would recommend it to anyone who can't afford a faster lens.


5 out of 5 stars Great lens at the right price   September 30, 2008
I'm not a photographic expert, but this lens meets my needs and was at a good price. Well built not cheap feeling or looking. Works well with the Canon Rebel Digital that I have. Is a good addition to the standard lens that came with the camera.


4 out of 5 stars nice lens   September 23, 2008
I purchased the lens to take sports pics of my kids. The lens does well for this, but there are times when I would like it to be a little quicker.
